Joe Biden's 'creepy' whispering irks conservatives, while experts deem it an 'intimate form of communication'
FirstpostThe White House and communications experts say Biden’s whispering is just this veteran politician’s old-school way of trying to make a connection while emphasising a point. Biden’s critics on the right as well as some late-night TV talk show hosts say the whispers are “creepy” and “weird". “Under President Biden’s leadership, COVID cases have plunged by over 90 percent, we’ve achieved an historic level of job creation, the economy is growing at its highest rate in 40 years, and we’ve achieved a breakthrough on the world stage to stop the offshoring of American jobs,” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said. Kayleigh McEnany, a White House press secretary for Trump, called Biden’s whispering “peculiar” and “crazy” before panellists on the Fox News Channel programme she co-hosts discussed it. On the late-night talk show circuit, comedian Stephen Colbert featured what he called Biden’s “new rhetorical flourish” in a recent monologue on his CBS show.
